Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 small yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 small red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

1. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

2. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and chili powder, then sprinkle half over the chicken.

3. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the chicken and toss to coat.

4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6–8 minutes until browned and cooked through, then remove and set aside.

5. In the same skillet, heat the remaining oil and sauté the onions for 2 minutes.

6. Add broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers, then season with remaining spices, salt, and pepper, cooking for 4–6 minutes until crisp-tender.

7. Pour in chicken broth and stir to combine.

8. Return chicken and juices to the skillet and cook for another minute.

9. Remove from heat, adjust seasoning if needed, garnish with parsley, and serve.

Notes

Cut vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking.

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper browning.

You can substitute vegetables based on preference or seasonality.

Serve as is or over rice, quinoa, or pasta for a more filling meal.
